conference
This event accompanies the publication of the first monograph devoted to Emilio Prini (1943–2016), a major and radical figure of Arte Povera whose work had never before been the subject of a comprehensive study.
Structured chronologically from 1966 to 2016, the book explores Prini's unique thinking and methodology through an in-depth iconographic and bibliographical analysis of his archives and of the institutions where he exhibited. Refusing any hierarchy between mediums, the book places installations, sculptures, invitations, posters, and documents on equal footing, revealing a practice where concept prevails over object.
In this presentation, Luca Lo Pinto and Anri Sala will discuss Prini's uncompromising and elusive approach, his questioning of the framework of exhibition and of the very notion of artistic production — a highly relevant reflection in an era of image and object overabundance.
